With Tu B’Shvat coming up this Monday, Nachum focused on agriculture in Israel by welcoming David Matkowsky, Executive Director at The Shmitah Fund to this morning’s JM in the AM. “The Shmitah Fund was established to provide both financial and compassionate assistance to Israeli farmers and their families as they fulfill this important communal mitzvah at the heart of Shivat Tzion.” Nachum and David discussed how, unbeknownst to many people, the farmers in Israel who observe the laws of Shmitah continue to feel and deal with the affects of our 7th year sabbatical well after Elul of the 8th year and they can use our support.
